Tamron Hall Lands Daytime Talk Show 5 Months After Today Show Exit

Weinstein Television announced on Wednesday that they are developing a daytime talk show with the former Today show and MSNBC anchor, who announced her departure in February.

Hall, 46, will co-create the show alongside Weinstein Television, a division of The Weinstein Company, serving as host and executive producer of the series. Hall will also work with The Weinstein Company to develop additional non-scripted programming.

Still currently untitled, Hall’s daily talk show — shot in front of a live studio audience — will feature a mix of current events, human interest stories and in-depth celebrity and newsmaker interviews. (It’s unclear where or when the show will air since it has yet to hit the syndication market.)

“I’ve been working towards developing a talk show for a long time, but needed to make sure I did it the right way and with the right person to take the lead,” said Weinstein Company Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein in a statement. “Tamron is far and away that person. She’s an exceptionally talented journalist whose interviews masterfully walk the line between entertainment and hard hitting. We couldn’t be more thrilled to begin this new venture with her.”

Hall took to Twitter to address the news, noting that she’s feeling “#grateful” and thanking fans (and her former colleague Hoda Kotb!) for their support.

After she left the network, a source close to the situation told PEOPLE that Hall “wasn’t going to settle for sitting on the sidelines.”

“Tamron’s a woman of integrity,” added the anchor’s good friend, TV writer-producer Mara Brock Akil, who used Hall as the muse for Gabrielle Union’s career-driven character on the hit BET show Being Mary Jane. “And she’s writing her own story.”

“It’s a job. It doesn’t define me. It doesn’t determine what I do … how I treat people,” she said, according to Page Six. “I’m going to always look you in your face and say, ‘Thank you’ and ‘Please’ — and if you make me mad, a good cuss word — but in the end, a title can’t define you.”

“When your card no longer says anything beneath it, but your name, are you still you?” she added. “Can you still savor the victory — the moment that you were able to take that dream? I never imagined that I would be on the Today show.”
